Story
Mimisiku (Mimi for short) is a sweet 7 year old Shih Tzu mix that is in need of a very patient owner who is better equipped financially to care of her needs and give her lots of personal attention. We are her second home, we got her when she was about 2 years old but we are relocating and unable to keep her any longer. She's not aggressive in any way around children but doesn't like to share the attention. She's also not much of a barker however will be very vocal when she wants something! She likes long walks but will sucker you into carrying her ( she's a little stubborn) and while she can be very playful she doesn't care for toys or bones. She loves fruit (mangoes, apples and cucumbers are her favorite) spaghetti, chips and french fries but will settle for bite sized chewy snacks. She is very affectionate and welcomes lots of belly rubs and cuddles. She will do best with someone who is very patient and can give her lots of personal attention.
